Giraffes Ruin Everything by Heidi Schulz

kelleemoye's review

This book is so much fun!

Don't miss out on Heidi's Nerdy Book Club post about her inspiration.

Funny yet important! The theme in this one is quite evident, but don't forget to continue the conversation with the elephant also to talk about how everyone makes mistakes and that's no reason to not like someone!

Having such a long neck isn't always a great thing! In fact it can ruin everything; however, that long neck can come in handy sometimes!

Fun read aloud, kids will enjoy the repeating parts.
I loved reading the Nerdy post Heidi did that explains where she got the idea for the story.

Cute idea, but the boy's negative attitude toward the giraffe started to grate on me and the ending was predictable.

Four stars for an adorable read, minus one for some rather unchecked bullying behavior.

Have you ever wanted to spend time with a giraffe? Well, I have news for you... giraffes ruin everything. They’ll spill your juice at parties, block your view at movies, and ear your ice cream out from under you. However, given the chance, they can be quite useful, especially if there is a kite stuck up in a tree. However, elephants... they surely ruin everything all the time. Neo liked this story, laughing at all the antics of giraffes and their silly behaviours. With the end of the year literally around the corner, Neo was happy to choose such a great book as one of the last he enjoyed in 2017!
